ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 2 April 1977
Villa are held to a 🟨 goalless draw at Ashton Gate as they remain 8th in the table but now have five games in hand on the leaders, ten points ahead.
Villa however should have had both points from the game but for a bizarre refereeing incident that saw a Bristol City player handle on the line to prevent Charlie Young's 🇨🇾header hitting the net only for referee Nippard to visibly nod his approval and wave play on.
Ron Saunders' 🏴 Villa make it 🟩 fifteen wins, 🟨 five draws and 🟥 eight defeats in 🕒 twenty eight division one games this season.
Midfielder Alex Cropley 🏴 makes his 🕒 25th appearance in a Villa shirt.
